Chapter 59: Is the Advantage Gone?
Gu Mianmian has been riding high these past few days, and every day has been exceptionally delightful.
In this home, she has once again become the focus of care and importance; even though Gu Wenyan's advantage was obvious just a few days ago, everything has now returned to its original state.
She considers herself the treasure most doted upon by her parents and brothers, and at critical moments, Gu Wenyan can only be crushed by her!
The Gu Family will only choose her without hesitation!
The more Gu Mianmian thought about it, the more pleased she became; when she got up and went downstairs in the morning, a clear curve still hung on the corners of her mouth.
Of course, when she was about to appear in front of everyone, Gu Mianmian deliberately restrained this curve, revealing a somewhat pitiful look, as if she were still immersed in the effects of her depression.
Walking on the stairs, Gu Mianmian saw the figure of her eldest brother; although she already had some dissatisfaction with Gu Yechen in her heart, at least in this home, Gu Yechen was also one of the people who could protect her.
Therefore, Gu Mianmian still had to win back his love.
"Eldest Brother!" Gu Mianmian trotted over, her tone carrying a spoiled air, "When are we going out?"
Yesterday, Gu Yechen promised to take her out for an outing today, naturally to let her breathe more fresh air and relax her mood.
One must know that Gu Yechen is now the president of Gu Group, and his daily schedule is very tight, with almost no excess personal free time.
But he was still willing to set aside enough free time to take her out for an outing just to make Gu Mianmian happier, which was enough to show the degree of importance he placed on her.
However, before Gu Mianmian could wait for Gu Yechen's answer, she saw Gu Wenyan come out from the backyard.
Eldest Brother turned his head to look at Gu Wenyan: "Are you ready?"
"Mm, all ready."
Gu Yechen said to Gu Mianmian apologetically: "I can't take you out to play today. Can we change it to another time?"
"Ah?" Gu Mianmian's disappointment was written all over her face; she suppressed it, and after a long time, she asked with great regret, "Not today? I was really looking forward to going out with you today, Eldest Brother..."
"I am really sorry, Mianmian, there is something very important to do at the company today."
Gu Mianmian would not give up and continued to act spoiled: "Eldest Brother, if it's something at the company, take me with you too; anyway, I don't want to stay at home alone..."
"Second Brother and Third Brother are both away today, and Mom and Dad don't have time to keep me company either..."
Recently, the Gu Family members had almost been taking turns spending time with Gu Mianmian, and because it was scheduled in advance that Gu Yechen would accompany her today, the others went to attend to their own affairs.
Seeing Gu Wenyan, Gu Mianmian wanted to show her own importance in front of her; she had to let Gu Wenyan know that she was the most special one to Gu Yechen, and that Gu Wenyan counted for nothing!
However, Gu Wenyan also stepped forward at this moment and said softly to Gu Yechen: "It's about time."
Gu Mianmian finally reacted: "Eldest Brother, the matter at your company has something to do with Sister?!"
"It has some relation."
"... She doesn't even understand business matters, how could it possibly have anything to do with her! Eldest Brother!"
Gu Mianmian looked like she was about to cry: "You aren't just making up this excuse because you don't want to take me out to play, are you?"
"No, there is indeed an important arrangement."
What could it be? What does Gu Wenyan know about business work? Gu Wenyan must have used some kind of conspiracy!
The emotion on Gu Mianmian's face gradually faded, and she also loosened the fingers that had been clutching Gu Yechen's hand, lowering her head somewhat sadly: "I know, anyway, my affairs aren't that important; Eldest Brother, go ahead and get busy, I'm fine."
She thought that if she said such things, Eldest Brother would definitely put down what he was doing to pay attention to her.
However, Gu Yechen only said to her: "After I finish resolving these issues, I will take you out to play. Alright, I'm leaving first."
Saying this, he gave Gu Wenyan a look and led her away.
As she was about to walk out the door, Gu Wenyan looked back at Gu Mianmian, just in time to meet Gu Mianmian's hateful and vicious gaze.
But Gu Wenyan was not frightened by her in the slightest; she even had the leisure to lightly blink at Gu Mianmian.
After the people left, Gu Mianmian grabbed a tea set and smashed it on the ground, on the verge of screaming in a breakdown.
What kind of methods had Gu Wenyan used again?! By what right is she always able to snatch away their attention!
Everything she had worked so hard to win back was going to be snatched away by Gu Wenyan again!!
Gu Wenyan walked out the door and, imitating Gu Mianmian's tone, said deliberately: "Eldest Brother, coming out with me like this, she must be very angry right now."
Gu Yechen rubbed his brow in irritation: "This matter at the company is very important. I will call Mom back to keep her company; there shouldn't be any big problem."
Gu Wenyan asked again: "Is company business always more important?"
"... No, but our competition with Lingtai Group has reached a very important stage; there cannot be any mistakes."
Hearing her father and brothers talk about the topic of the Crystal Orchid last night, Gu Wenyan took the initiative to express that she had a way to cultivate the Crystal Orchid.
However, she still needed to find some related tools today, and Gu Jue and Gu Yechen attached great importance to this matter, so Gu Yechen took the initiative to offer to accompany her.
If Gu Wenyan could really cultivate the Crystal Orchid, it would solve the biggest challenge currently facing Gu Group.
That plot of land could also be snatched back into their hands; this was also an important task that Gu Jue personally ordered Gu Yechen to be seriously responsible for.
The original outing plan with Gu Mianmian could only be postponed; Gu Yechen naturally felt some guilt in his heart, but during this period...
The energy they had spent on Gu Mianmian was already abnormally high; anyone would feel exhausted at times, not to mention the backlog of work.
It was not strange for Gu Yechen to have a new bias at this time.
Gu Wenyan didn't feel much, only thinking that Gu Mianmian was ridiculous.
Does Gu Mianmian really think that putting all her expectations on them is enough? People must rely on themselves in the end; the initiative must be held in one's own hands...
Going out this time to find the relevant materials to bring home for cultivation, Gu Wenyan also promised to cultivate the Crystal Orchid before the set time.
This had also become the greatest hope for Gu Group now.
On Friday, President Wang was to sign a formal contract with Lingtai Group; once signed, the land deal would come to an end.
But before the signing...
President Wang thought of the live broadcast time for the planting streamer that he had accidentally discovered that day, and even specifically took out his phone in advance to take a look.
He had spent a lot of energy looking for her, but had not succeeded in finding her, so he could only be forced to continue watching her live stream at this time.
There were not many people in the live stream room, just a sparse few; no one would have thought that one of the viewers was the boss of a real estate company renowned throughout the country.
"Hello everyone, welcome to my live stream room. I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the Crystal Orchid; today, I will show it to you."
